UConn TV Station Apologizes for Joking About Rape

The University of Connecticut's student-run television station has apologized for a video that jokes about the dangers of rape and sexual assault. The station posted an apology and promised to review standards. The video (viewable at Gawker) shows a woman fleeing a man she believes will attack her. She tries various emergency response phones and doesn't get the help she needs, but hears offensive comments from the computer-generated voice on the phones. UConn students took to Facebook to organize protests against the broadcast.
